Spicy Sausage and Kale Soup
By Jeri Mobley-AriasA delicious fall favorite, and really, good anytime of the year–this spicy sausage + kale soup exudes cozy, comforting goodness.
Growing up in a Filipino household, soup was eaten throughout the year, regardless of the season. There's something comforting about eating a bowl of piping hot soup on a warm day–it's almost has a colling effect that simultaneously warms the soul. Anyone else agree?
Fall is officially here and despite the Los Angeles weather not budging below 92°F anytime soon, it seems as though I’m being nudged to bring on all the cozy “fall” eats regardless of the weather, and frankly, I’m okay with that.
What I most enjoy about this soup is how well the buttery yukon gold potatoes compliment the spicy Italian sausage and kale. This soup also tastes better after it sits for a bit. Try to hold off from reaching for a ladle and bowl and wait ~30 minutes before diving in. This gives the flavors time to dance together, yielding delicious soup.
